    Can someone explain why people RANDOMLY drop the n word in voicechats as soon as they lose a game? Biggest problem in overwatch 2 right now... @PlayOverwatch do something ._.

  • Rathbaume Rathbaume (@Rathbaume) reported

    @SamitoFPS the economy in the game is the worst part of overwatch 2....if they dont fix what you can actually grind for ASAP then they are about to start hemorrhaging players when this event hits and people realize they have to buy everything now or grind 9 months for a single skin...

  • DonFourtyO 💧Don💧🐝 (@DonFourtyO) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Maybe after Overwatch and Nivida fix the problem with Nivida Broadcast and Overwatch 2 causing the games to crash

  • Marco8471 john Gonzales (@Marco8471) reported

    @BlizzardCS every time I log into overwatch I try to merge my account and it says it’s ready and i have to log out and log back in. It doesn’t do that and it always asks me if I want to merge my account and confirm it. Do I wait or is there another issue

  • problematyc_nt "Ryo" (@problematyc_nt) reported

    I was able to play games in Overwatch fully. Although not so decent with the pc or internet kk because the lag was still there. But I did five and finally unlocked Cassidy 🥹

  • NaParamore LIVE EVERYDAY OVERWATCH 2 CLIMBING RANKS?! (@NaParamore) reported

    debating on even bothering playing overwatch already. Its easy to tell the Ranked system is a complete mess. I'd be on the Rust but out of nowhere my computer has issues with it And I Just don't feel its worth upgrading my PC since I won't be getting another when this goes

  • hickoryCAN Hiroki (@hickoryCAN) reported

    @PfuzzGaming Because a very large percentage of players paid money for Overwatch 1 and we used to be able to get cosmetics for free If Overwatch was always F2P it wouldn’t be as big of an issue, but legacy players get ****** over

  • wwjdynwa YNWA Liverpool fan for life.JD Taiwan Lucio ps5 🎮 (@wwjdynwa) reported

    People say Lucio is strong in overwatch 2 I think it’s right for pc players but in console? no ,Lucio is still bad, those new players don’t need Lucio speedboost at all because they don’t know when they should push or fall back Some veteran players have the same problem too

  • AlhecTejeda Alhec Charlebois tejeda (@AlhecTejeda) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent HI I STILL GET KICKOUT OF COMP GAME (kick out demanded by overwatch ) AND GET JOIN BACK AND U BAN ME FOR YOUR ERRORS WHAT IS GOING ON CAN YOU FIX THAT PLEASE

  • anebjamin Bastion Enthusiast (@anebjamin) reported

    @_redhoodxl_ @PlayOverwatch just connect your controller to xbox with cable, it's not an overwatch problem it's an xbox firmware issue

  • massffect helena (@massffect) reported

    every time I open overwatch the game says I have a LOT more hours in it anyone else having the same problem? the day ow2 launched I had 2,100 hours and now I have 2,900? what

  • Laney1987 Kyle (@Laney1987) reported

    @Krashy Bust out overwatch 2 now tbh. Yeah unite has got you a lot of money, but this game is finished if they increase price of gems. I deleted the game beginning of the season, no reasonable change happening in the game, if they can change prices of gems they can fix MM

  • Jazz_2002_ Rak (@Jazz_2002_) reported

    The biggest problem in overwatch 2 is Moria not having a heal ability

  • McH2Oz McH2Oz (@McH2Oz) reported

    @Aspen_OW This is the problem with Overwatch people are black and white scenarios. Maybe teach them scenarios/comps/counters/maps? If my team is running Hog, I’m telling them to grenade him every time he gets an anti and otherwise hold heals on him like Mercy

  • CODCode904 Ricky MLG (@CODCode904) reported

    Both my accounts (GM1, GM3) don't even show up in top 500 leaderboards wtf man >:( fix game pls. I know I'm not the only one either. I should be rank 20 on one and like rank 50 on other. (I could tell based off people on my friends list). Classic Overwatch 😒

  • AaronBurner5 Aaron Burner (@AaronBurner5) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I swear to ******* to god y’all are braindead. I haven’t been able to play one week without a LC error code. All you did was update the shop and now I can’t play. Like what the actual **** do y’all do all day? #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #BrainDeadDevs

  • Rathbaume Rathbaume (@Rathbaume) reported

    @Qwik @Warcraft FIX THE OVERWATCH 2 ECONOMY....the prices are absurd and the fact we cant grind for anything anymore due to 60 coins a week....is just so anti-consumer it makes my brain hurt...

  • danmcCoy3 FISTZILLA.....LORD OF THE FIST (@danmcCoy3) reported

    Pretty sure the matchmaking in overwatch 2 is disastrously broken.

  • AkiraFuyo_ Fuyo (@AkiraFuyo_) reported

    Since my pc crashes when I play overwatch, I won’t be streaming Overwatch today. I’ll try to fix the problem off camera but in the meantime, I’ll stream some Dark Souls 3. Getting the new stream set up right now.

  • InhalerTayler InhalerTaylerッ (@InhalerTayler) reported

  • senior_s99 سلطان (@senior_s99) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your servers, normal 100 ping at day, 400+ ping at night, this happens only for Overwatch but other games were fine!

  • a_fro_man Techno (@a_fro_man) reported

    Time to do some MattPatt Theory crafting 😎 Guys what if Bastion glitch was intentional to set up the story lone that he was actually stollen and taken hostage by the new tank hero 👀 #bastion #Overwatch #overwatch2

  • edithIWNL Gen.G edith (@edithIWNL) reported

    @Wreckluuse @CellGLHF aiming in TAC FPS is much harder then overwatch, the room for error at a high level in CS/VAL is literally zero, if you have horrible aim, you’re gonna get curb stomped, not the case in overwatch where you play a character that swings an AOE hammer around and does damage

  • IceeRoseee Rose (@IceeRoseee) reported

    Someone gotta help me with my one, for some reason the video keeps lagging whenever I play overwatch and I don’t know how to fix this ****. 🫠😵‍💫

  • AceParty Aurélien Tessier (@AceParty) reported

    I spoke with #blizzard and #Bethesda support: Bethesda answered me in some hours & was quite good in fixing my issue after several interactions. Blizzard on the other hand, took 5 days for answering me and sent a generic answer to check the link of know issues wow… #Overwatch

  • monsterkinks jay (@monsterkinks) reported

    me: i will flex i have no issue playing any role in overwatch overwatch: healer? you mean you want to play healer every match? me: what? no, i- overwatch: JUST HEALER? me: WAIT, I- overwatch: SAY LESS

  • Ericthe_Legend Eric2Good (@Ericthe_Legend) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey overwatch dev team or blizzard so what's gonna happen when you guys fix console and we get to actually merge and get all our stuff back will I lose all my battle pass teirs and I already purchased the battle pass so will I lose it all?

  • SirTenderloin boostachio. (@SirTenderloin) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Your buggy servers are so bad that I've gotten disconnected enough times to be season banned on competitive, fix your stupid game. #Overwatch #playoverwatch #Overwatch2募集

  • EYESTR4IN strainah (@EYESTR4IN) reported

    refusing to play overwatch 2 again unless they fix the ******* servers. for whoever approved this version of the game to be stable enough to release to the public yall should be ashamed of yourselves @Blizzard_Ent

  • crucifiedx 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐲 ⎊ (@crucifiedx) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix the matchmaking like really bad. Constantly getting paired up with babies / bots is a no-go.
